Structural scoring is not meaningful for this business
Structural scoring uses gross margin, free cash flow and Altman Z — measures built for operating companies. For banks, insurers and asset managers they produce artifacts, because the cash-flow statement is dominated by lending and deposit flows rather than operations. Treat the structural and composite figures below as not comparable with other sectors, in either direction.
- Reported free cash flow is far outside the range an operating business can show, indicating balance-sheet rather than operating flows
Some scores are at the bottom of their range
This score sits at the bottom of the 0–100 range. The underlying calculation was negative, so the displayed value is a floor, not a measurement of zero.
- Structural Score: displayed 0, underlying value -19.3
- Tactical Score: displayed 0, underlying value -69.2

Reported earnings
Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (-3.13–-0.12, own scale) Derived Q4
12 quarters to Q1 26. Revenue and net income share one scale, so the gap between them is the margin. The baseline is zero — bars below it are losses. The line is GAAP EPS — it spans every quarter shown, where the reported figure only goes back as far as the consensus feed does.

The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑
Price Levels
| Strategy | Current Price Reasonable |
|---|---|
| Reference band | 4.88 — 5.00 |
| Protective stop | 3.95 (Atr, 20.0% risk) |
| Support | — (0 touches, — away) |
| Resistance | 6.74 (36.3% away) |
Takeaway The shares are about 36.3% below 6.74, where sellers have turned up before. There is no floor to point to in the recent record. If someone bought at today's price and sold if it dropped through the level below, they would be about 20.0% out of pocket. That is all this figure means — an illustration of the risk, not a price to sell at.
Levels are computed from price structure. They describe where the engine locates support and extension — they are not targets, and not advice.
Ichimoku Cloud (Adaptive)
| Daily cloud | Price BELOW the cloud | periods 7/19/38 (73% of classic 9/26/52) |
|---|---|
| Lines | Tenkan/Kijun BEAR (fresh down cross, 6d ago) | cloud twist BULL |
| Cloud event | Fresh down breakout 2d ago |
| Cloud thickness | 36% percentile |
| Chikou span | Not clear of price from 26 periods ago |
| Weekly cloud | Price BELOW the weekly cloud (context only, not scored) |
Takeaway The stock is trading below its cloud — a shaded band drawn from several of its own moving averages, currently 5.43 to 5.65. Being below it means the medium-term picture is pointing downwards, and that band is the first hurdle it would have to climb back through. Its shorter-term averages agree with that.

Trend context
| Position | Far below trend |
|---|---|
| Extension | Normal |
| Trend slope | Falling sharply |
| Direction of travel | Diverging from trend |
Takeaway Kalman fair trend is falling sharply; downside trend risk remains elevated.
Volatility
| State | Expanding |
|---|---|
| Current band width | 56.5% of price |
| Recent tightest | 32.5% (9 sessions ago, narrower than 59.0% of its history) |
| Expansion since | 1.74× |
| Band | 4.61 — 8.25 |
Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 57% wide. That is normal for this stock, so there is nothing unusual to read into it either way.

Open-market Form 4 purchases and sales over the last 75 days, read from SEC EDGAR Form 4. Grants, option exercises, gifts and shares withheld for tax are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not a decision to buy or sell. Reported Form 4 activity. Brown Bear tested insider cluster-buying as a return signal and rejected it as era-unstable; shown as fact, not signal.
Volume confirmation
| Volume-price trend | Below its signal line |
|---|---|
| Confirmation | Marginal |
No absorption or distribution event in the recent window.
Takeaway The heaviest trading has been happening on days when the price falls: when large numbers of shares change hands, the price has tended to go down rather than up. That tells you where the weight of trading has been. It does not tell you what happens next, and it is not a signal to sell.
Options Positioning

LCID: no binary-event flag. Near IV 97%, far IV 96% (ratio 1.01), implied move 11.4%.

Takeaway Insuring against a move in this stock costs less for the next few weeks than for the next few months, which is the normal state of affairs and suggests no particular date is worrying anyone. Options traders are positioned for a move of around 11.4% in either direction by 2026-09-04.

- Track 2: weak MACD histogram (-0.20)
- Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-5.6)
- Track 2: negative MACD regime (-3.7)
- Track 2: MACD slope deteriorating (-2.3)
- Relative strength versus sector deteriorating
- Track 2: negative 20-day momentum acceleration (-0.57)

- Weak relative momentum rank (0.00)
- Track 2: price below EMA20 by 18.1%
- Track 2: EMA20 slope deteriorating -7.8%
- Track 2: RSI deterioration/overheating 15.8, 5-day change -7.7
- Track 2: weak VPT confirmation (-0.07)
- Track 2: price below EMA50 by 21.7%

- Weak Piotroski F-score (0/9)
- Below-average Altman Z-score (-3.17)
- ROIC improving by -13.7 pts (+-1.8)
- Track 2 structural exemption: Z-Score -3.17 below the 1.8 insolvency-risk floor and structural score 0.0/100 below the 25 quality floor; this is an unowned speculative candidate, so the universal SELL gate was skipped and the Track 2 momentum/RRG grid was allowed to evaluate instead. Structural quality here is weak by design for this kind of candidate -- treat any resulting BUY as higher risk than a Track 1 signal.
Chase risk is not elevated for this name, so extension penalties are omitted from the negative signals above.
